Travels of the Necromancer

I stood among the crowd, looking at the bloody corpses hanging on the city gate.

Under the corpse was the latest notice. A group of soldiers stood guard, and one of them read the content of the notice loudly to the onlookers.The superficial meaning is that the city lord was assassinated, and now several assassins have been caught, but their accomplices are still at large. If the citizens find suspicious people, they should report them immediately.The deep meaning is that you hurry up to save people, if you don't show up, the remaining prisoners will die miserably.

Just, what does this have to do with me?I shrugged and turned to find the dim sum shop recommended in the travel guide.

--------------------------

Day by day, I am gradually adapting to this body, Ley's injuries are gradually recovering, and the number of corpses hanging at the gate of the city is gradually increasing.But I never let Lai go out on the grounds that he was wanted, so it doesn't matter how many people hanged at the city gate.

During the period, soldiers also came to search the house, and I controlled the old landlord to deal with it, while I knocked out Lai myself, took him to hide in the magic space, and passed the level easily.

In fact, after I rescued Ley from the City Lord's Mansion, the magic imprint on my soul disappeared, which means that the magic contract between me and Kate has been completed, even if Ley is thrown here, he will not be backlashed by magic.But I feel that he has been rescued anyway, and it doesn't seem to be a big deal for a good person to do it to the end. After all, the teacher taught me since I was a child that every contract must be completed carefully.When the security in the city is lifted, I can take Ley out of the city together.

However, the smooth travel so far has made me forget the fact that necromancers are cursed by the gods and always accompanied by bad luck.When I heard the good news that the corpses on the city gate would be taken down and thrown into mass graves in three days after the protest of the chamber of commerce, and the martial law would be lifted on that day, I rushed back to the temporary residence to pack my luggage. Only to find that Lai, who was supposed to be lying on the bed, disappeared and was replaced by the old landlord who was beaten unconscious.

I seem to underestimate Lai too much. He is not only a 17-year-old boy, but also a mercenary who has experienced the test of life and death.

Out of caution, the ghost I attached to the old man is not much higher than the little wandering soul. I tried my best to control the old man's actions, so it was really knocked out along with the body, and I couldn't ask anything.In the end, I had to use blood magic again.

As expected, the little red flying insect brought me to the front of the city gate this time.In the past few days, all the discussions in the city are about the assassination of the city lord and the exposure of the assassin's body. Ley can guess the truth with a little inquiry.

There is one more corpse hanging on the city gate today, so that all the people in the dungeon will be together... But it seems that this is not the time to care about this. I watched Lai standing in the crowd, he was wearing The cloak was hooded and seemed unrecognized.Maybe I should persuade him to go back, but will he still believe me now?Maybe it's better to just leave him here to fend for himself...

When I was thinking about what to do next, Ley seemed to sense my gaze and turned his head.The moment the four eyes met, I looked away with some guilt, but then realized: All this had nothing to do with me, why should I be guilty, let alone facing someone who is more than ten years younger than me? The teenager feels guilty.

So, I pushed aside the crowd and walked over. Ley stood there, staring blankly at me approaching, wondering what was going on.When I passed by, I whispered in his ear: "We'll talk about everything later." Then there was no pause.If he really doesn't want to go back with me, I can only keep him here.However, when I heard the footsteps behind me, I still felt a sense of relief.

"Why?" The journey from the city gate back to the small courtyard was not short, and Lai seemed to have finally recovered from the initial shock. He stared at me and asked as soon as he entered the door.

"What can you do if you know?" I asked him calmly.

"I can go back to Silver Moon for help!"

"Ask for help? Putting aside the issue of whether you can leave the city completely, do you think that Silver Moon's headquarters has no knowledge of this matter? Now this matter may have spread to the entire mercenary community, but they have not responded so far , which means that they would rather swallow their anger than give Holy Sword an excuse to go to war. And you, were abandoned without hesitation."

"impossible--"

I looked at Ley's unbelievable expression and sighed.For Ley, Silvermoon's companions are more like relatives than Kate, the brother he recognized halfway (although from the conversation in the dungeon, it seems that those guys don't think so), and the Silvermoon Mercenary Group is his Home.Now that the family and family members I have always trusted have betrayed me, no matter who it is, I am afraid it will be difficult to accept it for a while.

And putting aside feelings, it is undoubtedly unbelievable from the point of view of this matter itself.The Yinyue mercenary group has been in business for several generations, with a solid foundation, and the development momentum of the Holy Sword has only emerged in recent years. Why did Yinyue retreat to this point?You must know that doing so will not only seriously damage Yinyue's reputation, but also cause conflicts and differences within Yinyue.There seems to be something hidden behind this... However, it has nothing to do with me.

"So, you just watch Uncle Jack and the others..." But Lai's reaction was better than I expected, it was just a question, although his eyes were red and his voice was gnashing his teeth.

"Yes." I replied calmly.

Then, there was another long silence.Later, I felt that the atmosphere was uncomfortable, and I wanted to say something to break the silence.

"I have one last question." But Ley suddenly said.He looked up at me, and his voice became strangely calm.

"Who are you?"
